Mali minister admits prisoners freed for French hostage
Arab Today
Mali admitted Friday that prisoners had been freed in exchange for the release of French hostage Serge Lazarevic, confirming information given to AFP earlier this week by a security source in the west African country.
"It's a fact, everyone knows, there is no need to deny reality," Mohamed Ali Bathily told France 24 television in response to a question on the issue, just days after Lazarevic, who was kidnapped by Islamist militants in Mali in 2011, was freed.
